Knowledge of theory of circuits, linear electronics and programming basics.

Educational Goals

The aim of the course is to provide basic knowledge about digital electronics, concerning both technological aspects (logic families) and issues related to circuits and systems (logic networks, combinatorial and sequential digital systems).

The course is held by means of theoretical lectures, exercises and practical laboratory lectures.

Assessment Methods

The final test of the “Logic Networks and Principles of Digital Electronics” module is composed of a written test divided in two parts (true/false questions, 15 points available; generic questions and exercises, 18 points available).

The final test mark is equal to the sum of the points obtained in the two parts of the written test, without rounding.
The final test is passed only if at least 9 points are obtained in each part of the written test.

If the final test is passed, the mark is valid all along the current academic year; the teacher can extend the mark validity for the next academic year, in case no significant modifications of the module topics have been made.
There is not any limitation to the number of final test attempts; however, if the written test is returned for checking, the new obtained mark will replace the previous one. The written test will not be checked and no mark given if it is returned with the text “resigned” well visible on it.
--------------------------
The “Logic Networks and Principles of Digital Electronics” free choice course is composed of the homonymous module (6 credits).
The course exam corresponds to the final test of the “Logic Networks and Principles of Digital Electronics” module. The exam mark is the mark obtained in the aforementioned test and thus the exam is passed if the pass mark (18) is obtained. In case of passed exam, a possible decimal mark will be rounded to the nearest integer. A test mark greater than 30 will provide an exam mark of 30 cum laude.
